Great route
Climbed this as a party of three on this Saturday. We were the second party on the route (from what we saw). P1 - delicate slab climbing. I went off-route under the first belay station (out right into the cave with the bolt). This created a lot of rope drag for the last couple moves. P2 - Start straight up from the belay (run-out about 20' to first bolt, easy slab climbing).
Descent - we botched the descent by rapping right of the route into the boulder salad (apparently the area that can be downclimbed). First rap was fine, second rap we mistakenly rapped from two hangers and couldn't pull the ropes. This was solved by climbing up the downclimb and freeing the ropes.
A great route for our first multi-pitch. If you're gonna lead it be prepared to look down and see 20' between you and your last quickdraw :)
